On to Halifax

JUNE 23, 2017  FRIDAY

Very clear night last night.  Woke up to 52 degrees.  Took our time waking up this morning.  We have a very short drive today….about 50 miles to Halifax.

The trip today was very easy…highway almost all the way.  We did run into some traffic in Halifax.  Managed to find the A. Murray MacKay Bridge (toll $2.50…I think they didn’t see the little car we were towing) from Halifax to Dartmouth.  We have a campsite reserved at Shubie Park Campground.  We asked for a full hookup site…big mistake.  We probably got the last one which was very narrow and sitting on a little hill.  I managed to guide Jim into the site with little room between us and our neighbor. 
Too close


Luckily, our neighbor is gone right now so we didn’t feel too bad infringing on his space.  After leveling we couldn’t use our steps because of the hill.  Oh well…we just jumped out every time.  The campground has nice sites but with just water and electric…next time (ha!) we will get one of those.
Better and bigger sites at Shubie Campground

After we finished setting up camp we went out for a late lunch.  We found a brewery pub named Downeast Beer Factory in Dartmouth.  The.Best.Fish.Tacos.EVER!  Nice beer too.  Went back to the motorhome to plan our day tomorrow.

OOPS!!

July 10, 2017  Monday Gorgeous morning in this beautiful campground.  Our site is surrounded by birch trees and the light coming through the leaves is so serene.  We plan to head out to our next destination…Gros Morne National Park.  We have reservations at the Gros Morne/Norris Point KOA. After packing up we started out.  Jim, of course, was driving the motorhome and I was guiding…somewhat.  I was in front and watching to make sure Jim did not hit any of the trees in front.  We had looked all around the motorhome and thought we had plenty of touring radius…we were sadly wrong.  As Jim was turning and I was watching I heard a horrible cracking.  Of course, I had Jim stop immediately.  I walked around to find a tree…a multi-trunk tree stuck in the back of the motorhome.  We hit the tree just at the seam where the side panels and the cap end come together.  The passenger side cap was pulled away and the access door for t...

Doyles Day 2

July 21, 2017  Friday Had a cool night last night.  Took our time getting ready this morning.  Finally headed out on our car tour.  Drove up the 406 to the Cape Anguille lighthouse.  Gorgeous coastline.  Lots of wild flowers and rocks.  We met a couple…never got their names…who just arrived yesterday off the ferry from Nova Scotia.  They are just beginning their Newfoundland trip.  They did recommend a place to eat in PEI.  Michael Smith, famous Canadian chef, has a restaurant named “Fireworks” in Bay of Fortune.  He prepares a feast on the large property.  It is expensive but those people said it’s worth it.  We’ll check that out. We left the lighthouse and stopped at the Anglican Church and cemetary.  It sits right on the coast.  We walked around and looked at the tombstones.  Looks like some sad stories from times long ago. On our way back to the campground we decided to stop at the Grand Cod...
